Turkey’s e-government portal (e-Devlet) enables quick and easy sharing of information and documents between institutions. This service aims to spare citizens from commuting and losing time between institutions, while reducing the institutions’ workload. Reliability of transactions via e-government is ensured by means such as private codes, mobile signatures and mobile electronic signatures. Such authentication and security systems are mostly incorporated in official transactions including finance, purchases of valuable items, notary services, tax systems, signing official documents and government-to-individual communications.

  • Industriall Global Union and Industriall European Trade Union Protest the Decree of the Ministerial Cabinet of Turkey Banning the Strikes in the Metal Industry
    Geneva 26 January 2018 Mr. Binali Yıldırım Prime Minister Republic of Turkey Vekaletler Caddesi, Başbakanlık Merkez Bina Kızılay Ankara Turkey By e-mail [email protected] and telefax +90-312-422 18 99 IndustriALL Global Union and industriAll European Trade Union protest the decree of the Ministerial Cabinet of Turkey banning the strikes in the metal industry Dear Prime Minister, We are writing this letter to you on behalf of IndustriALL Global Union and industriAll European Trade Union, both representing millions of workers in mining, energy and manufacturing industries in Europe and worldwide, including Turkey, to convey to you our outrage and protest over the decree dated 26 January 2018 banning the strikes in the metal industry covering 179 companies, which have been called by three unions in the sector, including our affiliates Birleşik Metal-İş and Celik-Is. It is very much worrying that your Cabinet has issued the banning the very same day of a planned meeting between the three unions and the employers’ association, even though you are supposed to create and support a proper environment whereby free collective bargaining negotiations can take place. Using the argument of “prejudicial to national security” to ban the strikes is completely unacceptable. It is unfortunate that your Government regularly resorts repeatedly to banning strikes and during the cabinets of the current ruling party various strikes in different sectors were banned fourteen times. Our memories are still fresh with the previous ban of the metal industry strikes in January 2017. With the decree of 26 January 2018, you are banning the strikes that the three unions were planning to launch on 2nd February in many workplaces in the metal industry in different cities of Turkey.

  • Foreign Trade of Turkey
    Nigyar Masumova, PhD in Economics, Associate Professor of the Department of World Economy, MGIMO-University Foreign Trade Policy of Turkey: from Secularization to Liberalization Abstract This article considers the evolution of Turkey’s foreign trade policy since 1980-s, afterwards the import substitution policy failed. The analysis focuses on the role of Turkey as a crucial element of regional trade, and perhaps of the global trade. The country reinforces its participation in global value chains and focuses on increasing country’s share in world trade. The paper examines the features of geographical and commodity structure of the Turkish international trade and its dynamics. Keywords: Turkey, liberalization, foreign trade, foreign trade policy. Introduction Turkey is among rapidly developing countries with very high rates of economic growth. This is despite the fact that OECD considers Turkey to have a developed economy. Furthermore, Turkey is one of the few Islamic countries which managed to become a global and regional leader. Furthermore, it is closely linked to the European market and is a candidate for accession to the EU. It is worth mentioning that since the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in 1923 Turkey announced the process of secularization of all spheres such as politics, science and economics. Moreover the Ottoman Caliphate was abolished a year later in 1924. The country has passed through complex and painful reforms. Hence the social and economic model of Turkey is unique and it was undergoing the transformation throughout the 20th century, i.e. it was developing, taking into account its own traditions and history. It was just at the beginning of 1980 (before the September 1980 military coup), when the way for the economic liberalization policies was paved after a long transformation of Turkish socio economic model during 1923-1980.
